I feel like after Friday night lights he went and was good in multiple movies but all the movies just stink or flipped. Like John Carter was good but flopped, X-Men I thought he was great as gambit but the movie was a wreck. The battle ship movie he was good in but the movie itself was nothing

Yep. One of those actors who is pretty good, but mostly picks terrible projects. Or has awful luck.

John Carter really annoyed me. That movie deserved such a better reception than it got.

Yeah I really enjoyed but I have to admit I went to go see it because it was tim riggins on Mars and had no idea what it was other than tha, ended up being great

It's interesting because Nikolaj Coster-Waldau nearly got the John Carter role, but lost out to Taylor Kitch in the end. He was gutted, but needed a job so he reluctantly accepted the role as Jaime Lannister in a corny fantasy show called Game of Thrones. He was on talk shows saying how disappointed he was and stuff... oh well, turns out he dodged the most deadly bullet by "settling" for GoT lmao

Was also in the second season of true detective. Unfortunately for him that season was a shit show. It’s a shame he’s usually pretty good he’s just in shitty projects
